If you create content that is published online, in print, in audio, anywhere, a Supreme Court case called New York Times v. Sullivan affects you. Sullivan is the landmark case that in 1964 decided the First Amendment protects the free flow of information — including occasional mistakes — as long our mistakes aren’t malicious or reckless. But there has been talk recently of dismantling Sullivan. What would that mean for content creators large and small? Hint: We should all be worried.
